Static types are to prevent errors before they ship. If you were traumatized instead of assisted when learning things, get help, sure. Lots of bad social behaviors transmitted from many sources, it's a major cultural failing (in a high-trust world, anyway) to make people feel bad about not yet knowing something. Lots of unnecessary dependencies increase your vulnerabilities, and costs of maintenance. All those devs who did some stuff and moved on, built careers for themselves and headaches for others. Don't be that guy (or gal).
